Imagine waking up to the serene sounds of nature, with a fishing rod in hand and the promise of a day filled with brown trout action. Welcome to Brown Town Ranch at Cebolla River Ranches, a top-tier destination for those passionate about fly fishing.
This 35-acre lot offers full family membership, giving you exclusive access to 6 miles of Cebolla Creek’s private renowned trout stream. Situated just 40 minutes from both Lake City and Gunnison, Colorado, Brown Town Ranch combines the best of seclusion and convenience.
Cebolla Creek is renowned for its brown and rainbow trout population, supported by a rich aquatic insect life. Anglers can expect to encounter prolific hatches of Salmonflies, Golden Stoneflies, Green Drakes, and a variety of Mayflies and Caddis. The creek’s habitats—from long riffles and grassy cut banks to pocket water and meandering bends coupled with technical canyons—provide the perfect playground for any fly fisher.
The property’s natural beauty is complemented by its practical features. Full-time caretakers ensure the ranch is well-maintained throughout the year, and a limited building policy preserves its pristine environment. This makes Brown Town Ranch a valuable investment, promising to be a cherished getaway for generations to come.
Fishing on Cebolla Creek offers a unique blend of challenges and rewards. Whether you’re nymphing in fast, tight canyons or drifting a Chubby Chernobyl through oxbows, the opportunities are endless. The creek’s brown trout average about 12”, with many reaching 15” to 20” inches or more. And for those lucky enough, landing an 28”-inch brooder in the fall is not just a dream but a thrilling reality.
Hunting in Unit 66
Colorado Unit 66 is renowned for its diverse wildlife and excellent hunting opportunities. This unit is located in the Gunnison National Forest and offers hunters the chance to pursue elk, mule deer, and black bear in a picturesque mountain setting. The terrain varies from dense forests to alpine meadows, providing a challenging and rewarding experience for hunters of all skill levels.
Please note that hunting is not permitted on the ranch itself. While you can engage in hunting activities outside of the ranch, the property is dedicated solely to being a fishing club.
Tags and Licensing:
To hunt in Unit 66, hunters must participate in Colorado's draw system for big game licenses. The application period for the draw typically opens in early March and closes in early April. Hunters can apply for licenses online through the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) website or by phone. It's crucial to apply during this period as tags are allocated based on a lottery system, with preference points playing a significant role in the chances of drawing a tag. For more detailed information on application deadlines, fees, and the draw process, visit the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website.
Types of Tags:
• Elk Tags: Unit 66 is known for its over-the-counter (OTC) bull elk tags during the second and third rifle seasons, making it accessible to a broader range of hunters. However, cow elk tags and archery tags typically require participation in the draw.
• Mule Deer Tags: Mule deer tags for Unit 66 are available only through the draw system. This unit is highly sought after due to the quality of the mule deer population, so obtaining a tag can be competitive.
• Black Bear Tags: Black bear licenses are also available through the draw, with some tags offered OTC during certain seasons.
